The function that "bitbake package-index" relies upon when using the RPM package backend (package_update_index_rpm()) uses MULTILIB_PREFIX_LIST to get the list of package architectures to be indexed, but that variable is only set when populate_sdk_rpm or rootfs_rpm are inherited, which is not the case for the package-index recipe. Until we're able to refactor this properly, for minimal impact just use the value of ALL_MULTILIB_PACKAGE_ARCHS if MULTILIB_PREFIX_LIST does not give us any architectures (the equivalent function in the ipk backend uses the former variable). Having "bitbake package-index" working is important because it's the only practical way of indexing RPM packages for use as a feed; host versions of createrepo won't work properly because they won't support indexing recommends relationships. Stopgap fix for [YOCTO #5278].

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
